As 2011 comes to a close
I have to think about
those near and dear no longer with us
My pink Think of Me mug I got in North Carolina
at a antique store that stood on my families property
during the Revolutionary War
I will never forget you..............
Blanche
My cousins Grandmother celebrating her 100th in January,
it would be her last.
Lee Ann my dear friend
How I miss your smile, your laugh and the sweet notes you
would send me.
Tom, my beloved big cousin
This one hurts the most, the world seems not as bright without
you in it.
and then my dear Heidi girl
Mommy misses your kisses everyday
As we think about the next year please take time to think of those you miss
and remember what all they contributed to your life.
I will Think of Them often in the coming year. I plan
to treasure everyday that I get
to spend with those I love in 2012.
I hope it is a Happy New Year
Full of anticipation of all the good to come in
2012

What a lovely and heart felt post. I'm so sorry for your loss of these loved ones. Thanks for the reminder to not waste a minute of this coming year. Happy New Year Ann!
My, you have said goodbye too many times this year. I hope 2012 brings you more joy.
My heart goes out to you in your loss. The mug is so sweet. Here's to a year of wonderful memories and blessings.
It is so difficult to lose those we love, while the angels are dancing we are mourning.
Wishing you a blessed New year with time to spend with those you love and memories to treasure.
Your cup is spot on. Think of Me - we lost my dad this summer and life is just not the same. Tell you what - you pray for me and mine, I'll pray for you and yours. And on our own we can think of the ones we have loved and lost. God bless us, everyone. Hope you have a blessed and happy 2012.
Oh Ann
I just read about your sweet friend. What happened to her?? And of course I know about your cousin and sweet Heidi girl.
It's a roller coster ride we're on isn't it Ann. It seems at 55 my life is now full of emotions, hot flashes with a few good belly laughs thrown in-between.
Don't drop that mug... it holds all the memories too : )
Happy New Year my friend.
I didn't know you won the award for the best yard? Cool.

I know exactly how you feel. Let us not forget, but instead heal and cherish the memories ;-)
What a wonderful post.

Oh Ann, How I miss those that are no longer with me and my family. The New Year Song always brings tears to my eyes so I make sure I'm in bed before the clock turns the New year...
I know how sad you are over the loss of your beloved cousin...our hearts are stronger because we have loved so many...Blessing for the New Year!
Oh that is so touching and just heartbreaking too.
Here's to a happier 2012 for you!

I believe that every person who passes through our lives is there for; a reason, a season, and a life time. You have had many wonderful people in your life. It is a good thing to remember our dearly departed, and the cup is a sweet reminder. New Year's Blessings ♥
Happy New Year Ann, Hugs to you this coming week as you remember your loved ones, it is hard to have them absent from our lives. I feel the same and my sweet husband is still the hardest even after 30 years have passed. xoxo my friend, Marilou
A touching post Ann.
Thank you for your kind words and concern - I'm much better now.
Sending you and your dear family my very best wishes for a happy and healthy 2012.

I understand. We all are missing our loved ones this holiday and every holiday. I am with you, as are all of your friends. Let's honor our loved one's memories and treasure the days we have together with new found loved ones. Each day is a gift and one day we will all be reunited. Wishing you every happiness, good health and prosperous days in 2012!
